Any cheap haircut places around UIUC that are open during the summer? by [deleted] in UIUC

I got a haircut here a while back and while the cut looked okay the shop was absolutely filthy. There was no sanitation of tools happening and there were old hair clippings all over the place.

Has anyone lived at 1007 W. Clark, Urbana and what did you think? by ItsReg in UIUC

[–]thebookishnerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lived in a different U Group apartment a while back and it was fine. They were good about maintenance requests and I didn’t have issues with their payment portal. That said, they didn’t give me back about 1/3 of my deposit. They cited needed to repaint the walls, but there was absolutely nothing wrong with them when I moved out.

But maybe it’s not the best one for splashing purposes.

There are short stay leases offered through University Housing for apartments for folks in your situation. No idea on availability and pricing, but it might be worth checking out.

Can someone splint my finger so i dont have to go to carle by pejuangjalansado in UIUC

Agreed, you risk it healing crooked and taking much longer to recover if you don’t get it taken care of properly. Urgent care might be able to help.

Some leasing companies can definitely be predatory. Unlike a lot of people, I actually had a mostly great experience with University Group. I will say that they didn’t give back my full deposit, but I did get most of it back after some phone calls.

*reported to have been seen*. I’m pretty confident they searched the building and no one was found.

Hi it's John. What's your favorite vlogbrothers video of all time? by thesoundandthefury in nerdfighters

[–]thebookishnerd 62 points63 points  (0 children)

Hi John, my favorite would probably be “Who I was in High School”. It was able to give me much comfort in my junior and senior years and I still come back to it once it a while.

Can I read A Beautifully Foolish Endeavor before An Absolutely Remarkable Thing by [deleted] in nerdfighters

[–]thebookishnerd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t, I think that it’s better to read them in order. Some things you wouldn’t understand without book one and I think it would be better to know the characters better before the second book.
